Eamon Dunphy on Newstalk

mike65

Anyone listening?

All very straightfoward so far with the volcano weather and travel chassis being covered.

Seems fairly typical Newstalk/current affairs fare. It's not bad though IMO.

Haven't heard "Misty Mountain Hop" in a while so am happy with that!!

mike65

Indeed, Dunphy seems to have some decent taste in Rock music.

Eamos best friend Shane Ross has the best seat!

Here come the old pals to discuss the football!

More of the same old crony commentary.

mike65

The banks? or the panel of guests?

WalterMitty

A Good show, not a great show.

The panel of, eh, commentators.

mike65

Cronyism is everywhere. It was all very much in the comfort zone for Eammo. I'm not expecting any thinking/guests outside the box.

Gekko

tried to find podcast but it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the site. Nice going Newstalk

Is he working for them, or was it a guest slot?

mike65

Its his new radio home (until he gets bored) 11am-1pm Sundays

Hmm, good stuff, I always liked him on the radio.

CoalBucket

Every Sunday 11-1, that is until he ends up all night "tired and emotional" listening to Bob Dylan

Hmmm goin' head to head with Marzie.


Verrrrry interesting.

LordSutch

I havent heard him recently, but I presume he still gives the impression that (sounds like) he is ever so slightly sloshed

WalterMitty

He prob has his eyes on finucanes slot and pay packet. Is she retiring soon?

A great pay packet, not a good pay pocket no doubt:D

A 100 grand for a 2 hour radio show sounds pretty great to me.

FlutterinBantam

Marzie wouldn't get out of bed for that.

Caught the tale end of this on Sunday. Usual Eamon, slight bit of hyperbole, mixed with populism. Nothing groundbreaking, but far from being the worst current affairs show on radio.

I found it disappointing. The same old pundits who seem to be on an endless shuttle between studios. Eamon was a bit downbeat, but I understand he had been drafted in at the last minute for football TV coverage on the previous day. So he may have been tired. I'll give it a second chance.

Yeah that was it he was tired from working at RTE not from Lilles at all.

Dunphy taking to MGQ to task over her pensions!

Caught a few minutes of the show this morning. Hardly ground-breaking stuff. As someone else has already observed, just another round of the same tired old hacks flogging the same tired old lines. Some of those involved might do well to remember the old saying about familiarity. Perhaps the oxygen of publicity is just too hard to resist.

Generally have to switch over as soon as Eamo starts to fawn over a fellow journalist. Hence I rarely manage more than 15 mins at a sitting.

mike65

Michael Colgan, Harry Crosby on the panel today. Hang on weren't they both on the Late Late in the last few weeks?

FlutterinBantam

Tuned for five mins today....5 mins of ads, then Dunphy talking to John Virgo "a most ree -spsected (sic) commentator on the "shocking" news of cheating allegations in snooker.

Now I love that sport says Eamo and Higgins is a good lad...... squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelch.

Sharp jab of the forefinger on the channel change button.... enough of that auld cliched rubbish says the Flutther.
